Showers will be off and on through the overnight with winds light around 10 mph as lows only fall to the low to mid 40s. While we see rain and clouds in the morning, most neighborhoods will only see clouds. The temperatures will stay much more mild than where we have been the last few days. In fact, rain chances will be around on Wednesday but it's not a total washout type of forecast. We'll warm to the mid 50s. When it comes to rain, expect to see the occasional shower on the radar but never anything widespread nor will the rain last long. This potential for spotty rain is around much of the day.
A slow moving cold front will be off to our northwest on Thursday. This helps Thursday's temperatures rise quickly, topping out near 70 degrees in the afternoon hours. We will see spotty rain chances as well during the day before concerning rainfall hits.
The entire Tri-State is in a "Slight Risk" (Level 2 of 4) for Flash Flooding on Friday due to heavy rainfall. Some areas could see 2 to 4 inches of rain this week. I have the forecast on @wcpo news at noon! #WCPO # CincyWX #OHwx #NKYwx #INwx pic.twitter.com/794Y4PVbo2

Specifically, a system stalls over the Ohio Valley on Thursday which is going to lead to several rounds of rainfall, some of which will be very heavy at times. The heavier rain moves in late Thursday and will be with us into Friday. We could be looking at 2 to 4 inches of rainfall, if not more depending on these downpours. This could lead to a flooding risk starting Thursday night into Friday night. This rain will likely last overnight into Saturday before we dry out Saturday evening. Make sure to stay weather aware this week, and we will bring you the latest changes as they develop.
